Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SwitzerlandWe stayed in the room in the main building and you can hear the noises from the kitchen and main area but it did not bother us too much.
This is a hidden gem. We were not lucky with the weather when we arrived there - but we wished we could stay longer. The place is well hidden in the forest and you can fully immerse yourself in the relaxation. The views at the sunrise and the sunset are amazing and also you can watch the birds directly from the shower. The breakfast was delicious as well as the dinner.

United KingdomThe private lane down to the property (along the edge of the bird sanctuary) was in poor state. Would be challenging in wet conditions.
Stunning location, beautiful property and staff brilliant. Special shout out to Carol and Welcome who were so helpful and friendly. The entrance to the property is beside Birds of Eden and the Monkey sanctuary, both of which are well worth visiting.

NetherlandsIt is one of the more relatively expensive accommodations (value for money) but it is worth it
Very special place in the forest as stop on your garden route roadtrip. Location is great - between plett & Tsitsikama nature reserve. We upgraded the honeymoon suite which was very special - full glass cabin surrounded by trees. You have to be lucky with the weather though, we gladly had some sun. The staff turns on the fireplace in the room for extra warmth during the night. The diner was incredibly good and also the breakfast was really nice.

BelgiumWith the location comes a bit of a difficult drive around the monkey reserve (very well explained btw) and you get to see monkeys.
What a location! Everything is exceptional, the staff, the location (ever seen a swimming pool suspended in a tree house?), the food, the experience. Showering looking at into the jungle, just wow.

GermanyThe location is in the middle of the jungle. The breakfast and dinner area are centrally located and can be accessed easily from every room. The rooms are spacious and have a separate bowl bathroom however, without a full door in our case. The staff was super helpful and very kind. We had booked dinner for one of our nights there, and it was delicious and filling. One thing to mention on arrival as there are other reviews here: driving to the location is easy, safe and without worries. For the last couple hundred meters it is a gravel road which can be managed by any and every car. Would come again!

BelgiumThe horrible road driving up to the hotel and the bad WiFi. We were also disappointed by the breakfast which was exactly the same every morning. We would’ve liked some different kinds of bread and some cheeses/meat.
Beautiful property nicely decorated. Nice deck with pool where you can have dinner and breakfast outside if the weather is good. Good sized room. Possibility to have dinner in the hotel which we absolutely recommend, we did this 2 of our 3 nights and had 2 very good dinners! What made our stay extra nice is the amazing staff. Everyone was very friendly and very attentive.
